Seattle Kids Weekend Events: Mar. 7-9

This weekend, we’re springing forward (don’t forget to set your clocks ahead on Saturday night) with lots of family fun. For starters, we have an arctic (indoor) adventure, an extravaganza with some prehistoric animals, and a healthy fair designed just for kids. We also have a larger-than-life show, a free day at a popular museum, and a jam-packed evening filled with games, food, and music. If your kiddos are planning to participate in the St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Lap, head down to the Seattle Center on Saturday to take a practice lap around the International Fountain. Psst! Kids who participate in this fun practice run will get free admission to the Seattle Children’s Museum afterwards.
